Navajo Joe - Ennio Morricone - Soundtrack

It would seem almost a ludicrous thing to claim that of all the outlandish scores Ennio Morricone wrote during the 1960s and 70s, that one of them would be totally insane. Yet here I am about to claim exactly something like that when it comes to his score for the 1966 film Navajo Joe, which he composed under the pseudonym of Leo Nichols. Coming just a few months before his groundbreaking The Good, the Bad and the Ugly score, and accompanied by such other legendary titles as La Resa dei Conti and El Greco, Navajo Joe saw Morricone flex way beyond anything he had written before for Sergio Leone s spaghetti westerns up until that point. Navajo Joe was a film by Sergio ...

Giu' La Testa - Ennio Morricone

A Fistful of Dynamite were both somewhat like misnomers. The French title of Once Upon a Time... The Revolution probably hit the mark the best. As always, it was Ennio Morricone that Leone once again turned to when it came to the music. Having now worked on all of Leone’s important films together, the two had forged a close working relationship that had yielded some of the most historical film scores ever written and the playfully quirky experimental early style of Morricone’s had already become a basic template of many other Italian composers such as Nico Fidenco and Franco Micalizzi writing music for spaghetti westerns. In all essence, Giù la Testa is very much a ...

For A Few Dollars More - Ennio Morricone - Soundtrack

of Dollars and everything is upped to more grandiose levels of operatic epicness, fine tuning the trademarks that were to make him famous. Also returning with Leone was composer Ennio Morricone who was again closely involved with the making of the film. And just as Leone upped his antes for this film, so did Morricone step up the score to an even more grandiose level, developing several of the ideas he had come up with in Fistful to provide a more confident musical language in this follow-up film. As was usual with Leone, he considered sound to provide almost half the content of a movie and For a Few Dollars More shows his first attempts at making the music itself part ...
